Slow Cooker Lentil Baked Beans {VIDEO}

Slow Cooker Lentil Baked Beans– This classic summer side recipe gets a makeover with lentils! Quick and easy, and lower in sugar for a healthy alternative to the canned varieties.

Hey there all my fine felines!

Get pumped, cuz today I finally made my second, as in one, TWO recipe video for your viewing pleasure! You can skip all this small talk and go straight to it at the bottom of this post, or you can sit tight with your seats in the upright and locked position while I profess my love for lentils.

Yes, lentils. The forgotten legume. Chickpeas to hummus. Pintos to refried. Black beans to just about anything. But what about the lentils?!

Unless you’re big on Indian food, then you’re with me and are all about that dhal. But what about an American classic?!

I made them with a bit less sugar, and nixed the bacon to make these something every eating preference can enjoy. I’m all about spreading that legume love as far as I can, but you can always add the bacon back in if that’s more your style.

But these babies are full of iron, fiber, and protein, magic, and wonder which is why I love them so much. So you best be hoppin’ on the groovy legume train right about now.
